I have a somewhat puzzling issue
Where does one draw the line between a general machine or task item "For your information" sheet and a document that needs to be a controlled system work instruction?
The reason for my question - we have set up the normally needed "work instructions" which we control within the system - and are now developing what is called Standard Op procedures information sheets. (Similar to a piecwork IRD job write-up.)
These will be posted at each machine within the plant.... The information contained on the SOP sheets is very generic and are not directly step by step task information
Clean chips from vices
turn on machine
Load Programming
push cycle start
Align spindles
set spindle speed
Inspect and record part quality X times per X hours of operation.
Place parts in proper containers
Tag loads when finished
Turn in time card for each job ran.
Clean your area at 2 hour intervals end of shift.etc.
It was never our intention to use them as "ISO system docs due to the fact that they will soon become "known factors" for qualified operators and have no direct impact on specific "Product quality". BUT they will be included as On the Job Training criteria and our employees periodically tested and evaluated in their use.
Given that the new standards call for increased focus on proving effectiveness of training.. Should they now be individually listed in the system sign-off authorized and controlled because they are used as proof of training effectiveness?
